Spa Girl says it is that time of the Year!

As the winter starts to gain control it is time to think about your lips!

There is nothing worse than chapped, sore lips, it really dampens interest in kissing just at the time of year when there is nothing better than to curl up in front of the fire with your sweetie.

Moisturizing your skin in winter is essential-especially for those sensitive and exposed areas of the face. Both cold weather and summer sun are not ideal for our lips, as they can become chapped and cracked.

To help remedy these conditions there are some great easy-to-make recipes than include the natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits of honey. The first is a great exfoliator, then a remarkable Lip Balm.

LIP EXFOLIATOR

½ tsp. granulated sugar

1 drop honey

Combine sugar and honey and rub the blend onto your lips for 20 seconds using light, circular motions and gently rince with warm water and pat dry.

LIP BALM

2 tsp. almond oil

1 tsp. honey

1 tsp. beeswax pellets

1 vitamin E capsule

Combine almond oil, honey, beeswax, and vitamin E capsule liquid in a small pan. Stir over low heat until beeswax melts. Pour into a small container, once soidified, use often.

Spa Girls Blog

I created the SPA GIRL blog in 2009 because I wanted to share my spa experiences.
I am a big fan of aromatherapy,
thalassotherapy, spa cuisine and history.
I love to pamper myself, inside and out! And why not? I work hard, travel a lot and find the spa experience exciting each and every time.
Since the beginning of history, people have resorted to springs, baths, and spas for the therapeutic effects and power of their healing waters. Today the Spa experience has expanded to include so many ways to live a happy, healthy, holistic lifestyle.
Relax, rejuvenate, and restore: that’s Spa Girl's motto.
Spa Girl covers a number of my interests including: aromatherapy, home spa treatments, spa modalities, feel good tips, spa destinations, natural products and spa foods.
Spa Girl is also on facebook where in addition to my blogs I post links to other spa writers, spa reviews and tips.
I have studied aromatherapy for a number of years and create my own salt scrubs, bath oils, soaps and skin creams.
I am an avid researcher and love to research all aspects of the spa industry, study and of course try every spa experience there is.
My other passion is art museums.
